Sometimes adults and kids need to wear masks to protect other people from
gettin sick. This might be something new for me. Masks might feel kind of

uncomf ortable at first, but I will get used to them.

Even when I wear a mask, it is important to be | meter away from other people. It
is still okay to touch and hug my Family.

I usually don't need to wear a mask in my home or my yard. If I go to a store or an
appointment, T need to wear a mask. If I ge somewhere with my Family and there
are other people around, I should wear a mask. A mask can protect other people if I
cough or sneeze. It will also protect me from others. It is important, to wash my
hands with water and soap or to use a hand sanitiser.

Doctors are working very hard to find ways to make Covid-l4 go away. Once it is
gone, I will not. need to wear a mask anymore. Wearing a mask is different, but it will

be okay.
